Who Is Affected?

More than just undocumented individuals

ICE affects a wide array of people, not just those without legal status

• Mixed Status Families
• Legal Immigrants
• Workers and employers
• Community Institutions 

Social and Emotional Consequences

The effects on people are more than just someone being taken away. 

• Families are split

• People fear using public services

  Which can lead to students missing school, parents missing work, families avoiding hospitals.

• Mental Health Strains

  Constant fear can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression especially in youth.

And the fear is not without reason, with nearly 60% of arrests in 2025 being individuals with no criminal record. 

• Economic Instability

Raids disrupt and inhibit local economies and strain employers in agriculture, service, and construction.

• Civil Rights Concerns

With the very under specified laws, it is very common to find cases of profiling, wrongful detention, and lack of due process.
